I have been going to this particular Jackson Hewitt tax service location for around 15 years and it's a fantastic place. The people working here are professionals, including Matthew Barkohanai, who truly knows his stuff. He cares about you as a person and equally importantly, will file your taxes, accurately. I absolutely recommend the location to anyone that needs tax service. read more

Ever since Rodrigo left this store, everything went downhill. The communication has been pretty much non-existent and after getting my taxes filed with Matt which took months to complete, I ended up getting charged by the IRS and FTB nearly $2000 due to late payments. This could have all been avoided if they gave me a voucher and instructions on how to pay and when to pay the dues before I got charged late payment fees. I get that they are short staffed, but the management should have re-hired or prepared for Rodrigo's departure. Trying to get ahold of someone there is next to impossible. I kept asking how much I had to pay and when do I need to pay by to avoid the penalties and after weeks I finally get a response but by then it was too late. This could have been avoided with proper communication and having my taxes done sooner. I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

They do not get back to you. They do not respond after multiple attempts to be reached via email and messages on phone, even though they are your accountants. Only Rodrigo was good and he is gone now. Horrible service. read more

We had an incident with Matt B. We filed our Taxes with him earlier this week. He clearly messed up and put the wrong name on the files and when we brought it up to him to change it. He is trying to charge us more than double to do it. This is so unprofessional and uncall for. UNLESS YOU'RE TRYING TO PAY MORE THAN WHAT YOU TOLD . DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE. TOTAL SCAM. read more

The tax accountant I used for 15 years dropped dead - a fact I didn't know until I tried to have my 1099s done. The man's daughter, a tax person herself, had decided I didn't make enough money to have her take the time to call me and tell me. I was frantic but in checking Yelp and other sources, Jackson Hewitt was recommended. Let me tell you, Rodrigo Moraes of the Winnetka office was WONDERFUL. And very knowledgeable. And saved me lots of money. I am forever grateful for finding him. I intend to keep using him. read more

I have been coming here for 3 years now. Steve has been helping me with my taxes. He is very professional, patient and explains everything to the T. I highly recommend him. read more

Steve was awesome. He walked me through the whole transaction and showed me what I could and couldn't write off. There were a lot of things that I had spent money on that could be written off that I had no idea about. I was charged $375 for the service and it was well worth that cost. I was able to write off enough to almost double that cost in income taxes. Going back next year. read more

I started down the path of having Jackson Hewitt help me with my tax issues. After shopping around, I found their prices fair and reasonable, especially for the individual taxpayer. I gave them a payment to start some work, but ended up going back to a different tax advisor I had worked with years before. Since Jackson Hewitt hadn't actually begun any work, I asked for a refund of the deposit which they gladly refunded. They were friendly and down to earth. read more

Just got my taxes filed with Matt at JH and he made the process very easy. I was using TurboTax for a while and decided to reach out for tax services this year and will never go back. Definitely recommend if you want to get the most out of your tax filing. Thanks guys! read more

I've used several tax firms and individuals in the past, but Steve Kroll has by far been the best. His professionalism and eagerness to help make sense of this seemingly obscure process has been much appreciated. He also has consistently found ways for me to save money each tax season. Highly recommend working with Steve read more

2-years of taxes done in one shot, everything went smoothly. Person was knowledgeable and spent the time to go through everything with me.

YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO READ THIS. I had stated a business couple of months ago and in the process of finding a CPA I had the worst experience and really, later came to find out, because of me because I had a lot of questions or would try to suggest a better strategy all the time b/c I thought I knew better than a professional. My 3rd attempt, I met Matt at this location and he had the most genuine interest in my situation and went beyond comprehensible understanding on addressing every concern or question I had. This guy is way too smart and his patience is a never-seen skill that represents him to very high standards. read more

I love Jackson Hewitt, especially the Winnetka office! Matt is always professional and takes care of my family's taxes. He always makes sure that he explains what's going on with my taxes and he never rushes through. As long as Matt is open I will forever return every year to this location. read more

Taxes overwhelm me, so tax issues? Don't even get me started...my worst nightmares involve the IRS and CA Franchise Tax Board. To make matters worse, I'm one of the least organized people I know. So, coming to see Matt, I felt like a dog with its tail between its legs just waiting for the bad news. Matt made it almost tolerable - I mean, it is still taxes, so it's not like it becomes fun, but I was less nauseous! And I trusted that Matt knew what he was doing, which felt good to me because I sure don't know about these things the way he does. I highly recommend his services! read more

Liz at the Riverside office was super helpful in getting some issues resolved and processed to maximize my return.

I've tried to do my taxes several times and every time I'm left wonder... "why do I have to pay so much?" I hate not knowing if I did all I can to pay the lowest rate.

And I had to pay way less He was also able to explain the situation in a manner I could understand He even took the extra set of reaching out to my employer so I could reduce my tax fees come next year GREAT JOB! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Tax time!! ugh who wants to deal with long lines and unanswered questions, right??!! Well guess what Matt is the man!! He is legit and knowledgeable....

Called Jackson Hewitt Tax at this location the day before taxes were due. They had me in the very next day! They set me up with Steve, Steve was extremely patient and knowledgeable. He thoroughly explained tax language and I finally was able to understand anything of it. I definitely recommend this location! read more

Came here last year after moving from the Westside to the Valley. Had been using Pronto Income Tax in West LA, but wanted to try a more local tax accountant after the move. Not impressed though. During 2014 I sold restricted stock units (RSUs) that had been vesting over the last couple years. So I knew that I had capital gains and would have tax due. First red flag was when Matt wasn't sure how to deal with the RSUs and the cost basis vs taxes witheld etc. After a while though he came up with a federal refund. I knew this couldn't be right and told him I was skeptical... Later in the evening he called me to say he had reviewed it again, wasn't sure and had to check with an expert at Jackson-Hewitt. It took about a week to get the numbers right. Now, I'm glad he did check and that they fixed my return so I'm not slapped with something down the road. However, the reason I came her in the first place is that they should be the experts, not me. It's a waste of time if I have to send emails about sales (that are already in the papers) and calculate the taxes to make sure they get it right. I might as well have spent my time in traffic driving to Pronto's (who knows how to deal with stock and RSU sales) location. At least I got a partly refund, cause it was pricey too. This year I'll just use Turbotax... read more

Great and fast services, I used to do it with turbo tax , then went to a CPA for 3 years, and this year I switched to this place, I'll definitely recommend it, I was very happy w the service and the price. read more

I'm sad. I want to say I'm rather neutral about the experience because it wasn't horrible customer service, but it wasn't the best either. I'm mostly sad because it cost around $230 for tax preparation fees, even with the $50 dollar discount they gave me, I think that's way too much. I was expecting to pay less than $100. I also bought this voucher on Yelp that was suppose to be $30 for $50 so I thought I could have saved another $20, but my tax preparer said I couldn't redeem it. So hopefully Yelp or someone will refund it since it's really useless, and I've already been robbed!!! I didn't feel like I got the most out of my return either, the preparer was asking another person for help at times and didn't really say/ask much. I only wanted to go here because I thought a 1099 and 1098 form would be complicated to do on my own, but seriously I would rather risk getting in trouble by the IRS than have someone charge me over $200 and still feel like I didn't get the best return. Sighhhhh no love/breaks for the struggling post grad student...SAD. read more

Matt is very knowledgeable and nice and really takes you through the taxes process. I would come in and bring three w2 forms and he would be so quick to process them and asking questions about other payments you have made during the year or if you have made any donations that you have paperwork of or if you work in education like I have then you just show him your receipts and bam. More refund money! Plus don't forget if you are still paying off your student loans because that helps you out too. Another time I was freaking out about another w2 I got from a 401k I pulled money out of so I went directly to him and he answered all my questions and gave me a peace of mind that it wasn't actually a big deal lol. I have been coming to this location for years and his extra people during tax season are good too. But Matt has been taking care of my taxes for a few years in a row plus he's the owner of the franchise. He also just earned his CPA. So you can trust that he seriously knows his stuff and new laws that come up! read more

Fast and friendly service. They got me in right away. No wait. They found deductions I never knew of. Rodrigo took his time helping me go over any possible deductions. I will always come to Rodrigo for my taxes in the future. I could not be more happy with my new tax guy! Thank you Rodrigo!! read more
